it literally just premiered last night, after being promised for 2022, so any announcement is not high on ABC’s to-do list I imagine.
Ditto, I am pleased to see these back. It’s just a shame The Newsreader will probably only be another six episodes.
I am not sure if any of these really hit it off with audiences (Aunty Donna’s Coffee Cafe maybe an exception?), I can’t see any of them coming back.
Looks like they’ve just given Tony Armstrong another not-entirely-dissimilar show… Extra-Ordinary Things?
The new series Austin could be interesting, particularly featuring Michael Theo from Love On The Spectrum, although like with so many ABC shows the title is lacking. Was that the best name they could come up with to sell this show? One-word titles are not necessarily a killer (e.g. Fisk, Bluey and Utopia have been successful), but a good/clever/witty name can get people engaged. Does the heavy British contingent indicate that like Queen Of Oz that this was possibly originally pitched elsewhere before being settled on Australia?
tbh I don’t think The Chaser would even be wanting to bring back The Chaser.
